There are two reasons why you've had 378,989 unparseable messages, but
only have 7759 .psv files.
First, some of the unparseable .bak files that 2.1.9 left behind in
qfiles/in may have been removed or moved aside.
Second, whenever Mailman was restarted, any qfiles/in/*.bak files would
have been reprocessed resulting in a flood of unparseable message
errors and leaving just one new .bak file per message. Thus a single
message and .bak file could have been responsible for several logged
unparseable message errors if Mailman had been restarted several times.
